I loaded the dream game

"Have you contacted the outside world?" Yukinoshita did not answer immediately, but changed the subject.

"As far as I know, almost everyone outside is dead." Xia Zhi said as he handed the backpack to the zombie girl and asked her to hold it. He then found two travel bags from the store next door, handed one to Yukinoshita and said, "If you are planning to seek help from the outside world, I advise you not to hold out too much hope."

One of the main tasks given by the game is to survive for sixty days. If you can really seek rescue from the outside world, this task can be completed easily. Then the dream points are too easy to get.

Therefore, Xia Zhi estimated that the game was designed so that they could either not contact the outside world, or if they came into contact with people outside, more troublesome things might happen, so he said this to Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita frowned slightly, seeming a little unwilling.

"Anyway, let's talk about that later." Xia Zhi went to the shelf of the nearby shop to look for what he needed, and said, "It's getting dark now. We have to leave here before dark. We have to hurry... Can you help me get this?"

Yukinoshita understood what Xia Zhi meant. As a creature that relies on vision, a person's combat effectiveness in a low-light environment would be greatly limited. On the contrary, the zombies would not be affected much. As a result, a lot of dangers were increased invisibly.

But what she didn't understand was what this had to do with the game disc in her hand, and why was this thing handed to her?

"Spiritual food is also food." Facing the girl's doubts, Xia Zhi explained: "While satisfying material needs, we cannot ignore the construction of spiritual civilization."

After hearing his explanation, Yukinoshita without hesitation stuffed the CD in her hand into the arms of the zombie girl beside her, and turned around to search for other necessities for survival.

Although she still couldn't figure out what had happened, she understood that she needed to get out of danger first so that she would have the time and energy to think about this problem later.

With the zombie girl leading the way, Xia Zhi and Yukinoshita searched the shops on this floor smoothly and found a lot of food such as canned food and some daily necessities. During the conversation, Yukinoshita got a lot of information from Xia Zhi, but she still didn't get the answer to the question that made her most curious: why the zombie girl was so obedient.

"Huh? This is it?"

Xia Zhi felt that he kicked something, and when he lowered his head, he found that it was a round white plastic device.

"Fire alarm?"

"It must have been installed improperly and fallen down." Yukinoshita looked up at the ceiling and found that the color of an area on it was different from the surrounding area, as if something had been installed there before.

Xia Zhi thought about it and picked up the fire alarm.

Yukinoshita roughly understood what he was thinking. The zombies here seemed to be very sensitive to sounds. A fire alarm that emitted a sharp beeping sound might unexpectedly help in special circumstances.

But what neither of them expected was that, perhaps by triggering some switch, the fire alarm that Xia Zhi had picked up to check suddenly lit up red, and a harsh beeping sound resounded throughout the mall, breaking the long silence here.

Chapter 7 Inertia Modification

"boom!"

A gunshot was heard, and the bullet penetrated the outer casing of the alarm, punching it through, and the alarm sound stopped abruptly.

But it was obviously too late to do so. The sharp alarm sound of just two seconds had already awakened the zombies in the entire mall. Hoarse roars and messy footsteps could be heard everywhere.

Yukinoshita didn't know how many people there were in a large shopping mall during peak hours, but she was sure that it would not be less than three digits. Just from what she saw now, the number of zombies that gathered in a short time was at least dozens or even hundreds.

Looking at the surging tide of zombies, Yukinoshita's face suddenly turned pale. She bit her lip and turned her gaze to Xia Zhi beside her.

Xia Zhi looked away awkwardly: "Don't look at me like that, I didn't expect this thing to make a sound."

Is now the time to dwell on this?

"That's not what I'm asking." Yukinoshita took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "I'm asking what you're going to do next."

The passages in front and behind have been blocked by the zombies that keep pouring in. There are only two ways to break out of the encirclement. One is to jump down from this place which is nominally the third floor but is actually four or five stories high.

This is undoubtedly a dead end.

The second method is...

"Kill them?" She clenched the bat in her hand, looked at Xia Zhi and asked.

"Are you crazy?" Xia Zhi looked at the girl in surprise. It was the first time he knew that the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family was so brave.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Yukinoshita asked back. Although her tone was calm, it could be seen from her slightly pale face and slightly trembling hands that the girl's mood at the moment was not as calm as she appeared.

"follow me!"

After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhi grabbed her hand, gave the zombie girl the order "Kill them all", and pulled Xueshita towards the glass railing.

what you up to!?

Before Xuexiashita could ask this question, she heard Xia Zhi say in her ear: "Hold me tight!"

Before she could react to the meaning of these words, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and then she felt herself flying into the air. An intense feeling of weightlessness swept through her body. The unprecedented stimulating experience made her involuntarily hug Xia Zhi's body tightly.

Are you crazy?!

Yukinoshita was unable to shout out this sentence. She just bit her lips tightly, trying her best not to scream out.

Of course Xia Zhi was not crazy. He had already prepared a strategy to deal with the situation in his mind.

"Set!" Looking at the ground getting closer and closer to him, he said silently in his mind: "In the next second, the inertia of Yukinoshita Yukino and I will be reduced and maintained to one tenth of the original!"

[This modification will consume 10 dream points. Do you want to confirm the modification? ]

"confirm!"

The points in the dream points column dropped rapidly, soon from 26 points to 16 points.

The next second, the two of them landed steadily on the ground.

The impact of falling from a high altitude made Xia Zhi's body shake for a moment, but he quickly stood firm.

The third floor of a shopping mall is generally around nine to ten meters high. With Xia Zhi's modification of "reducing inertia to one tenth of the original", the impact he received is no more than equivalent to jumping from a height of less than one meter. Unless he sprains his ankle, nothing will normally happen.

"Okay, it's okay now." He put the girl down in his arms and said to her, "You can open your eyes now."

Yukinoshita had closed her eyes due to nervousness, but she opened them carefully after hearing the voice, looked around, and after realizing that they both had landed safely on the ground, she blinked in disbelief.

"How did you do it?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Believe in the power of the heart, you can do it too." Xia Zhi said perfunctorily. Just as he was about to pull Xueshita away from here, he found that he was still held tightly by the girl and could not move.

Yukinoshita also noticed this and quickly let go of her hand, looking away awkwardly.

"That zombie girl...are we just going to ignore her?" she said, trying to change the subject.

"Peace is limited by time and money." Xia Zhi pulled the girl's hand and carefully ran around the area where zombies gathered and ran out of the mall, while he said nonsense: "I don't have enough money to continue to protect peace."

"I see. So the relationship between you two is the kind that is maintained by money?" Yukinoshita complained mercilessly.

After hearing this, Xia Zhi subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what she said.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, get in the car!

Yukinoshita looked at the two-wheeled bicycle in front of her that looked a little peeling, and looked at Xia Zhi hesitantly, as if to confirm with him:

Are you sure this is the car you are talking about?

Chapter 8: Yukinoshita-san doesn't want to separate

Considering the weight they were carrying, Xia Zhi finally found a relatively intact car nearby. He spent two dream points to repair it and drove it back to Xunzhiaoka Academy.

Because it was already past school time, most of the zombies had left due to the influence of the remaining memories of their previous lives in their bodies. Only a few zombies who did not return home at night were still wandering around the campus, and were easily killed by Xia Zhi.

That’s why adults often say that staying out all night is a very dangerous thing, and if you are not careful you might run into bad people with bad intentions.

“This school…”

Yukinoshita frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhi responded nonchalantly while reinforcing the fortifications at the end of the aisle.

"Set..." He gently placed his hand on the barrier wall made of desks and wooden boards in front of him, and whispered in his mind: "Add absolute defense attribute to it."

[This modification will consume 100 dream points. Do you want to confirm the modification? ]

Much cheaper than I thought, he thought to himself.

It is clearly an absolute characteristic that violates the rules of the world, so why is it cheaper than restoring a zombie to normal? Xia Zhi was puzzled.

"I just feel that this school is a little weird." Yukinoshita lowered her head and thought.

"Battery banks, solar power generation equipment, a complete pumping system and advanced water purification equipment... Don't you think it's a bit weird to install these facilities in a teaching building?" She expressed her doubts.

“It’s like… a specially prepared shelter.”

Xia Zhi did not deny it. Just as the girl said, in the original work, the teaching building of Xunzhiaoka Academy High School was originally a shelter specially designed to defend against zombies. It was not surprising that there were these facilities.

The only trouble is that the solar power generation equipment and battery packs on the rooftop of the teaching building have been damaged and burned, and it will cost a lot of dream points to repair them.

As a modern man, Xia Zhi cannot survive without electricity, so he decided to repair and improve the surrounding safety facilities first and complete the task of [Establish a Safe Base] that has just been released in the game. After obtaining enough dream points, he will repair several damaged facilities on the rooftop.

He handed over the only two remaining wooden boards in his hand, looked at Xia Zhi who was working hard to repair the safety works, and after a moment of silence, Yukinoshita stood up and walked towards the classroom without saying a word.

Half an hour later, when Xia Zhi had roughly finished his work and returned to the classroom of the Academy Life Department, he found several plates of fragrant dishes on the table. Combined with the steaming rice on the side, his stomach immediately growled as he had not eaten much all day.

"I was thinking of just making do with canned food, but I found a gas stove and some unused gas bottles in the cupboard, so I tried to make some hot food."

Yukinoshita said as she wiped her hands with a towel.

"It's just heated up briefly, so it might not taste very good."

"It's okay. I'm easily satisfied." Xia Zhi simply washed his hands with the bottled mineral water he brought back from the mall, sat down, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully for a while.

“…So salty.”

"I told you I just heated it up briefly and didn't add much water." Yukinoshita sat down and whispered, "I'm starting to eat." Then she picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, then frowned slightly.

It’s really salty.

"But it's only today. Under the current circumstances, we can't use precious water resources to wash dishes and pots." Yukinoshita continued.

"Don't worry about that." Xia Zhi wolfed down a mouthful of rice, swallowed it with great effort, and then said, "I'll go up tomorrow morning to see if the solar power generation unit can be repaired. The pumping equipment and water purification device are not damaged. As long as there is electricity, we don't have to worry about running out of water."

After hearing this, Yukinoshita felt a little strange. That kind of thing shouldn't be able to be fixed so easily, right?

"Also, I found a sleeping bag in the next room. You can sleep in this classroom tonight."

Faced with the girl's puzzled gaze, Xia Zhi chose to change the subject.

The girl paused for a moment, then asked in a nonchalant tone, "What about you?"

"I can just find another classroom to sleep in." Xia Zhi replied.

After all, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and although this young lady was very beautiful and cute, her personality was quite troublesome. If it were not for the mission, Xia Zhi actually had no intention of making close friends with her.

Yukinoshita seemed not to notice the deliberate distance in his words. She frowned and said, "I've also checked other classrooms. The windows and doors are all broken. The broken glass and blood on the ground have not been cleaned up. It's not a place for people to sleep in."

"It doesn't matter since I'm wearing a sleeping bag anyway." Xia Zhi said indifferently.

"That's not possible either!" Yukinoshita firmly objected.

Xiazhi feels a little strange. You are not my mother, why do you care so much about where I sleep and what I do?

Thinking of this, he looked into the girl's ice-blue eyes. Under his gaze, the girl avoided his sight somewhat evasively.

Xia Zhi frowned slightly, then seemed to realize something and asked tentatively:

"Yukinoshita-san, you're not... afraid of the dark, are you?"

Chapter 9: Unique Way of Getting Along

Yukinoshita Yukino is not afraid of the dark, she is simply afraid of ghosts.

If it were in the past, she wouldn't be so scared that she couldn't sleep because of such things, but today was different.

Thinking back to the zombies she had "killed" in the morning, Yukinoshita's face turned slightly pale.

This was her first time killing someone, and the scene at that time kept lingering in her mind and she could not forget it for a long time.

According to legend, the dead must be buried in peace before they can enter the next reincarnation. Those who fail to pass away smoothly will either be unable to find someone to reincarnate into and become wandering ghosts, or they will become vengeful spirits who die with hatred or are still attached to the world.

There is no doubt that those who were turned into zombies did not fall into the category of "peaceful death".

Although she knew that these legends were false, she couldn't help but feel scared. It was something she couldn't control.

Under the girl's insistence, Xia Zhi had no choice but to stay.

However, no matter how scared she was, Yukinoshita would not be completely unguarded against a boy she just met today. Although they were in the same room, the table when put down still acted like a screen, blocking the space and sight.
